THE ALTERED THREE
After a particle accelerator explosion, the boundaries between fiction and reality blur. A cartoon - PJ Masks, playing on a nearby TV - is pulled into the real world. Three high schoolers begin experiencing bizarre shifts: dreams, memories, and even powers that mirror those of the cartoon heroes. When a half-human, half-robotic professor approaches them with wild claims about their altered identities, they reject him - until the truth starts manifesting in ways they can't ignore.
